30 Days of Valentine’s Fun Day #6: Valentine Heart Wreath

If you don’t already have a Valentine’s door wreath, here is one that is fairly easy to make, but looks so elegant.  I love that it looks like it is made out of rose petals and yet it is just felt. What a simple but beautiful showpiece for Valentine’s Day.  Thanks so much to the creative mind and talent of Amy over at The Idea Room for this great idea!

Kid’s Craft: Recycling Old and Broken Crayons

I just found this idea on Pinterest and am now kicking myself for throwing out that container of old crayons that had been laying around my house for months.  Why couldn’t I have held onto it for a few more days?!  Not only is this a great idea for repurposing those old and broken crayons, but they can make great gifts as well.  I am so excited about this that I just might have to break into the good crayons to make some.  Thanks to Craft Daisies for the idea!

Here is what you need to make these:

  • Old and broken Crayons
  • mini muffin pan (one that you don’t mind getting a little crayon on)

Here is how to make them -> Crayon Nibbles Tutorial
